Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add asparagus; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Stir in scallions, ginger, oyster sauce and chile-garlic sauce; cook, stirring, until the chicken is juicy and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in pistachios and serve immediately.

Ingredient Notes: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken fingers.”

Chile-garlic sauce is a blend of ground red chiles, garlic and vinegar and is commonly used to add heat and flavor to Asian soups, sauces and stir-fries. It can be found in the Asian-food section of large supermarkets. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.

Made a few changes. Toasted sliveredalmonds instead of pistachios, orange segments and zest, fennel fronds chopped, served with coconut rice. Delicious!

I used unsalted pistachios but other than that completely followed the recipe. My husband and I loved it!

Overall A Great Meal!
This dish is awesome for a super quick, delicious meal. I just made it for the first time, changing it to servings for six people, but the portions were TINY. I ended up just serving four people haha. The flavors were all awesome together, but I think next time I won't add as much oyster sauce. It was a little too salty for my personal taste. Overall great though, one of our new favorites!
Pros: Easy, quick, healthy
Cons: small portions, too salty

Excellent dish!
My whole family loved this dish, even my 3 year old. I added shitaki mushrooms and left out the scallions (my wife forgot them) and it still came out delicious, plus we love mushrooms. I also used 1.5 tbsp of oyster sauce and 2.5 tbsp of Tabasco Garlic sauce to give it more flavor and a little extra kick. I saw some comments that added garlic into theirs. I was hesitant to do that but I love garlic so I may try that next time. Overall, this is a very tasty stir-fry. It's also very light on ingredients but more than filling.
Pros: Easy, healthy and quick
Cons: Nothing bad to say

Wow!
Loved this, but my sous chef... Aka my husband, went overboard with the ginger. Next time I will stick to the exact measurements with that.
Pros: Quick and healthy

Made this the other night and was less than impressed. There was absolutely no flavor to this recipe as written. I ended up doctoring it with more oyster sauce, some fish sauce, soy sauce and siracha to get it to a level where it actually tasted like something. Definitely won't be making this again.

Great dish
I don't care for oyster sauce so I used 2 tblsp soy sauce instead. I could barely taste it. The sesame oil is very overpowering (yet delicious), so if you don't have that don't bother...it makes the dish. I added two cloves crushed garlic and will next time as well. I forgot to buy scallions so I just used like 1/4 cup largely diced onion and it was still great.
Pros: flavorful

I WILL make this dish again!
The flavors were still tantalizing my tastebuds after dinner. I added a minced clove of garlic and increased the chili-garlic sauce to 2 tsp for added flavor.
Pros: Healthy never tasted so good!
Cons: Need to double the batch next time!
